,The recesses i3 end le may extend elm. giieiy th'iough the lug 12, but pi'ee'ably 90 they extend oniy a short iiistzmce inwardly "from @zich eide thereof, whereby :the central poi-tion of the lug is not weakened by having .aperture therethrough. in the manufacture and assembling of 95 handles o o emtiienwere Vessels and the like,

weight and frengiiole meure of the moieiiol requires the use of 'handles that are onjy Strong and eiiobie but that are not iikeiy to become detached While using 3W the seme in tzmepoitiug the vessels on which they am employed. Fuihermore, the inexpeneiveness of the vessel necessitates the use of baile that will not materially increase lehe cost of manufacturing the article. These requirements are niet and numerous other advantages obtained by the arrangement which will nonY be described.

Referring to Figs. 1 and 2, the reference 'character 15 designates the bail which comprises the handle 16, side supporting mein bers 17 and lateralir extending attaching portions 19 and 2O w ich are adapted to engage the recesses 13 and 1e in the ears or .'lugs 12.

The haii is preferably, though not neces I sarily, made by bending a single length. of

wire to form a loop 21 for the handle pori5 tion, and with the ends of the side members bent laterally to form the attaching portions 19 and 20. The handle 16 may, if desired,

- be provided with the usual Wooden handle element 22, as shown in Fig. 1. This element is applied to the bail before the same is bent to proper position. The wooden handie element is not necessary and for cheap constructions it may be omitted, as shown in Fig. 2.

The eye or attaching lug v12 is so arranged that it does not extend beyond the outer --isoV .surface of the beadv l1, whereby the recesses 13 and 14 are located beneath said bead. The side supporting members l? are bent as shown at v23 in Fig. 2 to engage about said bead to permit the handle to extend vertically.

The supporting members 17 are prevented from spreading apart' and thus disengaging the ends 19 and 20 from the recesses 13 and 14 by suitable means. As shown, a tiel or brace member 1i isiemployed for this purpose. The ends 25 and 2G of this member 1 are bent about the supporting members 1'? adjacent. to the lug 12. `When the tie or brace member 2li is in position itwill hold the supporting member 17 adjacent to the ends of the lug 12 whereby-the ends 19 and 2O of the bail will support a tremendous Weight Without becoming bent. En other words.- the weight of the jar and its conments, when supported by the handles, will tend to shear the laterally extending ends 19 and 20 rather than bend the same.

n the modih'ed form of the device shown in Figs. 3 and 4, the supporting members 27 are arranged in the plane of the handle 28, the bead l1 of the jar 10 being provided vvith recesses 29 which are adapted to receive said supportingr members when they are in' their upper position. By this arrangement the bail may be lowered beneath the bead in packing tliejar for shipment.

In Figs. 5 and t3 is shown a modified form of the bail in which the supporting- 1uem-' bers 30 are arranged tofextend across each other. A. suitable tie or clamp member 81 extending about said supporting members 30 at their point of intersection is provided for preventing the disengagement of ill@ meines sirable to torni the bail ol' separate parts,

and in Figs. 7 and 5% is shown a manner of accomplishing this result. ln these ligurcs the side supportingmembers 33 and 34 are formed separately from each other, their upper ends are bent laterally as shown at 35 and 3G and thcy'are adapted to engage in each end ot an opening 3T extending through the handle 3S. rlfhc handle 3S may, if' dc.- sired, be provided with a bushing; 39 in which the ends 35 and 36 are journaled. The tie or brace member 2111 and the arrangen'ient o the lower ends ot the bail are substantially the same as that shown in Figs. 1 and 2, except that the bail is placed nearer the handle.

The device. shown in Fig'. 9 differs from that shown in Figsf and 8 in that the wooden handle 40 is not provided with a bushingfor the reception of the upper benty ends 41 and i2 oi the supp'orting men'ibers 43 and #14. `The outer portions ot' the ends '1 and 42 are bent downwardly asat 46 for engaging' the wall of the opening' 4:5 to assist in su ppoiting the weight of the vessel. 'lhe inner portions ot' the ends 4? may be bent upwardly for a similar reason.

ln. l `igs- 1() and 11 is shown a still further .modified torni ot' handle in which a cap 48 provided with a central aperture 49 is secured to each end of the woodenv handle elenient :'0 to provide a bearing or Wearingr surface for the inturned ends 54 of the side members. "lhe cap d8 is adapted to be. secured to the wooden handle element 50 in any suitable inanneiglas by means of the prongs 52 which are driveninto 4the ends of said handle.

ln the form of the device shown in Fig. 12 the ends oi the `wooden handle element 55 are provided with `ferrules 56 having central apertures 57 vthrough which the handle portion 58 of the bailo?) is adapted to extend.

The tie or brace member 24 may be made 'from any suitable material of any desirable cross-section. is shown. it is rectangular in cross-section, although it is understood that so far as the function/oi! this member is concerned it may be otherwise. The ends of the member 24 are bent or folded about the supporting portions of the handle in any suitable manner. In Fig. 14- is shown a tool for accomplishing this purpose. The tool comprises a handle 60 having' a notch 61 in one end -thereot` forming the extensions 62 and 63 which are curved as shown in Figs. 13 and 1li.'

ln using the tool, the curved extensions (32 and 63 are engaged with the supporting member 17 with the handle extending at right angles to the member 24 and on the same side thereof with the end ot said member 24 projecting through said notch hetween the handle and the supportin member 17. The handle 60 is then mover in the direction to bend or wrap the end of the member` 24 about the member 17. If it is desired to plage the member 24 under ten sion so as to force the members 17 toward each other, or it it is desired that the ends of the member 24C be closely Wrapped about the member 17, as when the tie member is employed as a compression instead of a tension member, one or both endsof the member 24 may be provided with a suitable p rojection 64 which is adapted to be engaged by the handle portion during the bending operation as shown in Fig. 13. This makes a rirm connection and is especially useful when the member 24 when in use is under compression as when the lug attaching ends of the supporting members extend in opposite directions to engage individual lugs on the jar.

By the use of a tie member, a single lug with shallow recesses in each side thereof may be` employed without the necessity of extending the recesses entirely through the lugs and thereby weakening the same to a more or less extent. It is understood, however, that it is immaterial so far as the function of the bail is concerned whether the recesses extend entirely or only partially through the ears or lugs, or whether one or more lugs beused.

In Fig. 15 is shown a simple device for forming the recesses lin the lugs. This device comprises a handle portion 65 from which extends a wire loop 66, the diameter of the loop being substantially that of the desired recess. In forming the recesses, the

Wire loop 66 is inserted in the lug or ear While it is still plastic and is given a complete turn after which it is removedr along with the severed material.

In the modified term of the device shown in Fig. 16, the ends of the wooden handle 67 are provided with a ring 68 Which is adapted to prevent the vsplitting of the handle by engagement in the opening 69 thereof of the ends 70 of' the bail71.

It is thought from the foregoing taken in connection with the accompanying drawings that the construction and operation of my devicewill be apparent to thoseskilled in the art, and that various changes in size, shape, proportion and details of construction maybe made without departing from the spirit and scope of the appended claim.

I claim as my invention:

In combination, a jar of frangible material, a plurality of lugs on said jar, each 1u being provided with a recess at each en thereof, a carrying bail for each lug, each of said bails comprising a handle. and side portions of relatively light wire having inturned bent ends for engaging in said recesses, and a tie member for engaging said side portions for holding said ends in said recesses, said handle adapted to extend upwardly in substantially a vertical plane With the adjacent parts of said side portions, whereby when said jar is lifted by said bails the weight of the same will be su ported by the tensile strength of said si e portions without tending to produce a bending action therein above the tie members, thus permitting the use of formation of said bail without impairing its normal supporting function.
